Lifesigns are an English progressive rock band, first conceived by lead singer and keys player John Young in 2008.

Working together with sound engineer Steve Rispin, John started to lay the grounds for the Lifesigns album in 2008.

In 2010, John was joined by longtime friend Nick Beggs on bass, Chapman Stick and background vocals, and by drummer Martin "Frosty" Beedle to complete the first lineup of the band.

The band worked for over two years to complete their self-titled debut album, with notable guest stars such as progressive rock legend Steve Hackett (Genesis), Jakko Jakszyk (King Crimson), Thijs Van Leer (from Focus) on flute, and Robin Boult (from Fish) on guitar.

As Nick Beggs was busy with other musical endeavors (notably touring with Steve Hackett), Jon Poole was recruited to handle bass and vocals, while Niko Tsonev (departed the band August 2016) took up the guitar duties.

Cardington features guitarist Dave Bainbridge who subsequently joined the band's live lineup in June 2017.

[9] Live in the Netherlands was later announced for release on 3 July, featuring audio recorded in August 2022 at the Poppodium Boerderij in Zoetermeer.
